	"The FlightGear Manual" is meant to give beginners a guide in getting \FlightGear{} up and running, and themselves into the air.
	It is not intended to provide complete documentation of all the features and add-ons of \FlightGear{} but, instead, aims to
	give a new user the best start to exploring what \FlightGear{} has to offer.
